  • E72: The Future of Real Estate in Australia: Christian Gravias
    Aug 12 2022
    Hi guys! We're back with a special episode with Christian Gravias. I absolutely loved his insights throughout this episode and with life in general. Which is why I had to have him on. We dive deep into the future of real estate in Australia and also how that will impact the rest of the world. Christian also speaks about who the next monopoly company will be in the real estate industry with the assistance of the revolutionising web 3. We also chat the property management sector will shift drastically down the line and also about how important rent rolls will be in the future.  Christians view point may shock you. The reason why I love this podcast so much and why I love interviewing people is to achieve my mission of InSpiring people to Change. The ones that do not change in life, never develop and grow. And I'm afraid there are too many of us out there that are comfortable and not willing to walk out of their comfort zone. That''s another reason why I love interviewing people like Christian. They force you to think differently and outside of the box. That's why I love surrounding myself with people like Christian and I wanted to provide that same experience to you.

    This was one of my favourite podcasts to record because of 1 simple reason. Mike has been the most prominent business and life mentor in my life. He has taught me some amazing principles of success and has really helped push me in my career to strive for the best. Even before my career in real estate, I used to shadow him throughout his busy days as an entrepreneur. So finally, I wanted to provide the same value he has gifted me with to you guys.   


    In this episode we speak about how Mike started in business when he at the age of 15 and fully booked himself out in between school. To where he is today as an acquisition entrepreneur purchasing new businesses every year.   


    I hope you enjoy!

  • E68: Understanding How You Work Best & Being Able to Adapt & Grow: Belinda Agnew
    Apr 10 2021

    Belinda is the founder of the Foccus Group. I like to think of it as a modern day recruitment agency. She is doing some amazing things and expanding that business, even through the times we are living in today.  In episode 68, we actually get to speak about how she was able to shift and grow that business, so stay tuned for that.  


    But this podcast is based around Mindset and truly understanding yourself so it wouldn't be a Behind Your Motive Podcast without diving deep and speaking about that with our guests. So also in this episode, we analyse the power of understanding how you work best and how Belinda uses her childhood experiences to her advantage, in an odd way.
